original post damn stupid! aiyoh! please lah! u go to school a
not har? so many inaccurate things ! u know what communism is?
hahahaha....
i have lots of time to write long answer for u today
1 . Protests and demonstrations are banned.
In singapore, after the Iraq war, police are quickly called up to
round up the protesters outside U.S.A embassy
1. u know public order is priority here right. even when
protesting about foreign wars doesnt exactly have anything to do
with singapore. other people protest in other countries...got any
effect? bush still so ya-ya. all the reports, evidence, senate
hearings on NO wmd, no saddam-al-aqeda link got change bush's mind,
or blair's mind? or howard's mind. u got something to say..go to
speakers corner lah! or apply permit to hold outdoor gathering, or
just fork out money for indoor gathering with no permit required,
or write here lor (but no more nonsense pls)
2. Normal people have no say in the dealing of the affairs other
then the government opposite of Swiss Referendum system
In singapore,laws and bills are passed , and without any
opposition.
Nobody had a say
2. what swiss referendum system?? what things you want to be
involved in har? people elect leaders and leave them to pass
laws..same here, same other places..at the most may have public
feedback which they are not 100% obliged to accept. u think every
single detail govt here and elsewhere consult people meh? people
have the expertise? dream on lah!
3. One Party Control , CCP in China controls everything from
what they watch.
In Singapore, Media Corp and Media works are fully owned by Temasek
Holdings, GIC
3. ccp may have complete say on what chiense people watch on TV,
but internet mean chinese people aloso got other sources. and
please.... mediaworks owned by sph, sph listed on stock
exchange...u go and buy shares and u can own part of sph oso. same
goes for sia, dbs, sbs transit, singtel etc. many of these
companies are 50-60% owned by govt only. u want other news, got
cable tv, can watch cnn bcc, cnbc, bloomberg...u no money to
subscribe cable, go to internet and read websites....u think
singaporeans really isolated from rest of the world...thousands of
foreign publications, newspaper, magazine around u know...go
holland v mama store to buy lah!
4. Political members like to put people in POWER , who they
like...
in USSR and CCP.. Hu Jintao , Jiang and Deng were all good ol'
communist comrades..
4. what is your point? political appointees quite common,
ESPECIALLY in usa where clinton, bush oso appoint people clsoe to
them. in fact current bush admin, many officers from his father's
admin in early 90s oso. that's what bush jr. is said to have called
on his papa's golf buddies and kaki to help.
5. Centrally-owned enterprises.
Temasek owns SMRT,NTUC,SING TEL ,DBS, MEDIA CORP and
SINGAPORE
TECHNOLOGIES ENGINEERING.. and many many many more
5. aiyoh...it's state owned enterprises! u got take history a
not har? damn stoopid! the govt may have majority stakes in many
major companies, but they are NOT always "fully owned"...u want to
own shares, go buy shares in these companies lor! i copy and paste
now...same goes for sia, dbs, sbs transit, singtel etc. many of
these companies are 50-60% owned by govt only.if u read paper
...temasek make billions oso wat..not like china soes lose billions
...u complain for wat.
6. Abandonment of it's past culture
Last time,the Red Guards went to destroy all those old cultural
relics
In Singapore, we are losing our own racial and religious
culture..
all being mixed up to become..Singaporean culture
6. culture is not controlled by govt lah! please! u think all
those britney spears, chritisna aguillera and all that govt
mandated meh? in fact foregn (i.e western) pop culture due to
globalization is threatening to engulf our own. people encouraged
to speak mandarin as preserving chinese culture, many old buildings
now being preserved by ura oso..but small land size means govt must
balance with housing, industry needs oso....got take human
geography in school? this kind of thing oso can blame govt..u quite
pathetic hor!
7. Dear Leader is idolised and welcome by many
7. the only dear leader i know is kim jung il of north korea.
but what is your point?
